What makes it 66% Couple-Friendly: Pairs get a quiet view of Lake Ashi and, in clear weather, Mt. Fuji, can share soft-serve and soba, and relax in the lounge, but few romantic or evening amenities limit visit length.
Why 1-2 hours visit duration is ideal for couple trip: Enough time to enjoy the view, sample snacks, and browse local souvenirs at a relaxed pace.
Observation Deck:
Admire panoramic views of Lake Ashi and, on clear days, Mount Fuji.
Tip: Visit in the morning for clearer skies and fewer clouds.
Soft-Serve Ice Cream:
Share a premium ice cream while overlooking the lake.
Tip: Grab a seat on the outdoor benches at sunset for a romantic moment.
Hakone Toge Soba:
Enjoy the station’s specialty soba noodles with kakiage tempura.
Tip: Order the kakiage topping to add extra crunch and flavor.
Souvenir Shopping:
Browse original drip-coffee bags, local vegetables, and Evangelion-themed items.
Tip: Look for limited-edition coffee blends sold only here.
Reading Room:
Relax in the 24-hour reading room with a book or tablet.
Tip: Bring your device charger and use the free Wi-Fi to share photos.

Pretty good rest stop to spend the night. All the bathroom facilities are available and there is a 24 hour 'reading room'. However you can't really see mount fuji from here.

I was traveling in a camper van and used several such roadside stations during my trip. I spent the night in my van here which was really convenient and refreshing. Along with clean restrooms and an awesome ice cream vending machine there's an electric van charging station as well. All in all, great roadside station at a convenient and scenic location.
In autumn, the hillside maples glow red behind the deck. In winter, dress warmly to linger on the outdoor terrace. Check for clear skies in spring for cherry blossom views around Lake Ashi.
